Wax Motor

In the past the wax motor was bad, door would not lock. The dryer worked, but I didn't check for heat. This I'd looked there first, because I don't want to buy or repair the main control board. The ohm check showed the wax motor was abnormal, so I ordered it and waited a very short time to get the part, fast service! I would past the star ... Read more t button and no response. Then started at the push button, it checked normal, but no DC voltage. Then I checked the main board, had a low AC voltage I think about 95vac I measure. then I check the filter, it was good. Then I started checking each connection for loose location. At the breaker box one side had the bad voltage there. Then I removed the circuit breakers, found on the connection of the breaker that slides over the stubs was bad, it looked black not shining like the other side. I know for sure this was the problem. Replace it, but washer ALL back together and ALL WORKED GREAT! Thanks again for the fast service!

First took front panel and door off. Locate the wax motor, unplug the two wires and pry out the old and replace it with new, Install back the front panel and door back. Plug in and test works well. Instalation vedio helped a lot and the right part fits well too. Very pleased.

Checked the internet, watched a you tube video, even though it said wax motors with the black tip have not failed, this one did. I would say to anyone with this washer and this problem to replace the wax motor. Cheap and easy fix.

Took 14 screw out for the door lock switch took ole part out and put new one in really simple... Wax motor had to get metal spring press, to get old one out, was much easier to put back in after I replaced the old motor with the new.
